Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive, often lethal neuroendocrine cancer of the skin associated with the recently discovered, common Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). With an incidence of 0.44 per 100,000 MCC is a very rare cancer. Notably, however, although MCC is 40 times less common than malignant melanoma, MCC has a dramatically higher mortality rate than melanoma rendering MCC to the most lethal skin cancer (37 versus 15 percent). This high mortality rate is largely due to the fact that to date none of the currently available therapeutic interventions is able to improve overall survival of patients suffering from metastatic disease. Consequently, new therapeutic strategies are needed for metastatic MCC. Since several lines of evidence indicate the outstanding immunogenicity of MCC, immune modulating treatment strategies are particularly attractive. IMMOMEC is a 4-year project to establish and investigate an innovative and effective immunotherapy for MCC, thus directly responding to the aims of the topic HEALTH-2011.2.4.1-1 Investigator-driven treatment trials for rare cancers.
IMMOMEC will develop a rational immune therapeutic approach for treatment of patients with MCC that is based on the targeted delivery of interleukin-2 to the tumor microenvironment. However, IMMOMEC will not only provide a new therapeutic option for MCC patients, but will also establish the relevance of immune modulating strategies to treat solid cancers in general, establish and validate new tools to monitor patients receiving such therapies as well as compile prognostic and predictive biomarkers to individualize immune modulating therapies. Moreover, IMMOMEC will introduce a new immunemodulating therapeutic produced by a European SME, which also holds the intellectual property rights.

More than 230 Hope College students be spending their spring break serving others.
A total of 17 service and mission trips have been planned for the college's spring break, which runs Friday, March 19, through Sunday, March 28. The mix includes trips across the U.S. as well as abroad.
Some 217 of the students will be participating in multiple mission trips organized by the college's Campus Ministries Office. In addition, 14 students involved in the college's chapter of Habitat for Humanity will participate in a work project in Georgia, and another 25 students will travel with professor of kinesiology Dr. Steven Smith to Jamaica.
The itinerary had originally included trips to Miguel Aleman and Tijuana in Mexico, but Campus Ministries opted to cancel them in light of a travel warning issued by the United States Department of State in response to recent incidents of violence involving drug cartels in communities in Mexico near the border.
In East Palo Alto, Calif., students will be working with Bayshore Christian Ministries, a year-round ministries program, to help at-risk children. Students working with Christ Community Church in Pompano Beach, Fla., will join in with the church's outreach work in a variety of settings in the community. In the Chicago, Ill., area, students will participate in building projects and work with children through Circle Urban Ministries in Austin.
In Stinking Creek, Ky., students will take on chores at the Lend-A-Hand farm, interact with children and help area residents with a variety of projects. In Jackson, Miss., students will participate in building projects and other activities of Voice of Calvary Ministries.
Students heading to Newark, N.J., will work with World Impact, an inner-city ministry, to tutor children and participate in renovation projects. In Mescalaro, N.M., through the Mescalaro Reformed Church, students will work with health care providers on an Apache Native American reservation.
Street Life Ministries in Queens, N.Y., offers students a chance to participate in urban ministry in an ethnically diverse setting. With Service Over Self in Memphis, Tenn., students will provide improvement assistance to homeowners in the inner-city community.
Hope students will travel abroad to five sites through the Campus Ministries program this year.
Young Life leaders from Hope will go to the Dominican Republic, to lend a hand with work projects at a Young Life camp, play with children, and lead activities and worship with young adults involved in Young Life. Two groups will travel to Guatemala: one to work with Worldwide Christian Schools, to help construct a new high school building, and another focused on building projects and working with children through the Fundaninos orphanage. Students going to Jamaica will work on construction projects in the village of the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf.
A trip to Nicaragua will allow pre-health professions students a chance to help by making visits to remote villages and public schools to help meet a variety of hygiene and medical needs.
The students involved in Habitat for Humanity will engage in a work project in Albany, Ga. They will be working in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity's International Collegiate Challenge program on a home that is being sponsored by Flint Rivers Habitat for Humanity.
The group of students with Smith will be working on the school campus of the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Smith has led a group of students to the site during spring break for several years.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Hector Noesi fired 6 2/3 innings of scoreless ball and the Chicago White Sox edged the Seattle Mariners, 1-0, in the rubber match of a three-game set. Noesi (3-6) struck out five, scattered five hits and walked two for Chicago, which recorded just two hits. "He was good, had a great changeup, had a great feel for it," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Noesi. "He's a tough kid. He's confident and knows what he can do." Jake Petricka tossed two perfect innings to notch his third save of the season. Taijuan Walker (1-1) gave up a run on two hits and five walks over four frames for the Mariners, who had won four in a row coming into the set. "I just really got to find the fastball. That's my best pitch, I just got to watch film, lock in and try to figure out what's going on," Walker said. The White Sox opened the scoring with a two-out run in the first and held on from there. Connor Gillaspie worked a walk and Jose Abreu singled to put runners on the corners. Walker's 3-2 pitch to Adam Dunn got away from him, sailing well over catcher John Buck, which allowed Gillaspie to score and make it 1-0. Chicago's only other hit came in the second inning. Seattle, meanwhile, put runners in scoring position in every frame but the first, eighth and ninth. The visitors finished 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. The Mariners' best opportunity to score came in the seventh when they loaded the bases with two outs for Robinson Cano, but he flied out to center. Adam Eaton made a nice diving catch on a slicing liner earmarked for the gap in right-center off the bat of Corey Hart to prevent a sure leadoff double in the eighth. Game Notes The White Sox went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base ... Noesi picked up his first win since beating the Detroit Tigers on June 9 ... Second base umpire Dana DeMuth left the game in the fifth inning after colliding with White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham. The game continued with three umpires.

This is Oklahoma Football
Great college football and the Oklahoma Sooners. For as long as anyone can remember the two have been one and the same. Unlike some schools where tradition represents ancient history, or others where it harkens back only a few years, Oklahoma's tradition is a constant accomplishment unfettered by eras or time.
The Sooners were playing football before Oklahoma became a state and have achieved a legacy so successful, that more than contributing to the history of this great game, it defines it.
Sooners Play for Championships
Nothing defines the competitive success of a college athletics program like a national championship. OU, with seven national titles sprinkled over four decades, is one of the very few programs that sets out each fall with the expectation and legitimate goal of pursuing the national crown. That pursuit rates as a lot more than just talk around here.
The aura is unmistakable, and it radiates from real and repeated success on college football's biggest stage. Oklahoma has claimed more national championships than any other Big 12 program.
The Sooners under Bob Stoops earned the program's most recent title in 2000 with an Orange Bowl victory over Florida State to cap an undefeated season. OU's other championships came under Barry Switzer in 1985, 1975 and 1974, and Bud Wilkinson in 1956, 1955 and 1950.

In Lower Saxony, in the heart of the Ammerland region, lies the spa resort of Bad Zwischenahn. Situated on the shores of Lake Zwischenahn, the third largest lake in Lower Saxony, the town offers total relaxation and much more besides.
Bad Zwischenahn, a state-approved mud spa since 1964, is renowned as a holiday destination. Thanks to its fantastic lakeside location it is ideally placed to offer not only wellness therapies and active leisure pursuits, but also a range of therapeutic treatments.
The power of peat
Great store is traditionally set by the healing properties of the local mud, and the former rheumatism clinic – which predominantly carried out mud-based treatments – has now become the Lakeside Rehabilitation Centre, specialised in the treatment of orthopaedic illnesses. As a part of this, the centre's highly qualified team now employs a deliberate symbiosis of modern medicine and the healing powers of nature.
Lakeside rehabilitation centre
In addition to medical expertise, the Lakeside Rehabilitation Centre also offers all the benefits of a traditional spa and health resort. The idyllic parks on the shores of Lake Zwischenahn refresh and regenerate both mind and body. Watersports on the lake, cycling and hiking along well-marked routes: at Bad Zwischenahn it's not only about the mud packs.
Wellness by the lake
Visitors to the 'Wellness am Meer' lakeside wellness centre will find that it has everything they need to enjoy some active but also laid-back leisure time. Housing a wave pool with a 36°C outside saltwater pool and a sauna complex with a steam sauna, two Finnish saunas and a log cabin sauna, the centre lets you choose what to focus on.

|Lord of Our Relationships
Read for This Week's Study:
|Exod. 20:14, 17; Psalms 127; 128; Luke 6:27, 28; Acts 2:41-47; Eph. 4:32; 5:25; 6:1-4.
Memory Text:
|"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2, NKJV).
Key Thought:
|God created human beings to enjoy intimate relationships with Him
and with one another. When Jesus Christ is the Lord of our relationships,
we will experience the meaningful intimacy that was part of God's original
Created for relationships. After God had created Adam, He said, 'It is not good that man should be alone' " (Gen. 2:18, NKJV). Adam was not simply a work of art to be admired by his Creator. He was a relational being, created with the innate desire to experience intimacy with God and with other created beings. When the Lord brought Eve to her companion's side, Adam gave the following testimony of the intimacy he was already experiencing: " 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man'" (vs. 23). Moses provides a brief description of the intimate relationship that our first parents enjoyed: "They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed" (vs. 25).
So much has changed since that first relational encounter. Relationships have become damaged and fractured by sin. God desires that we experience the meaningful intimate relationships that were part of His original plan.
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, August 13.
|August 7
The god of Relationships
As human beings, we live in relationship with other human beings. There's no escaping it. Nature itself shows we are meant to exist in relationships.
For starters, each one of us is here only because of a relationship that resulted in our birth. And even after birth, infants cannot live but a few hours on their own. They need a relationship to survive; that is, they need at least one other person to take care of their physical needs. And almost as important as the physical are the mental needs, as well. Infants crave love, attention, and affection. From their youngest days infants are aware of, and respond to, human loveto touching, to words, to moods, to attitudes. Babies are made to bond, not with toys or with the bed, but with other people. The children who have loving, close parents to bond with are so much better adjusted than those who never had them. And that's because we were made to be in relationship with other people.
And yet, no matter how basic to our existence and identity as humans, something has gone wrong with our relationships. All around us we can see examples of relationships gone sour. Most of the pain and heartache we suffer as humans, we suffer because of bad relationships.
But because God loves us, He obviously cares about our relationships, which form such an important part of our existence. Thus, He wants us to have good, healthy, affirming relationships. That's why the Bible has so much to say about this crucial topic.
Look up the following texts: Exodus 20:14, 17; Luke 6:27, 28; Romans 12:2-21; Ephesians 4:32; 5:25; Galatians 6:2; Philippians 2:2, 3. What do they tell us about relationships? What can we learn from them about how we are to relate to others? As far as time allows, find as many verses as you can in the Bible that talk about relationships (be prepared to share what you find with your class).
|How well do your relationships reflect the principles expressed in the above texts? In what areas, perhaps, do you need to make some radical, even painful, changes?
|August 8
Relationship With God
Though we all want good, healthy relationships with each other, that's not always so easy to achieve. We are all sinners with defects that don't always make us so easy to get along with.
Crucial, however, to our relationship with others is our relationship with God. He created us, He alone can change us. Only through a close connection with the Lord can we have the kind of relationships with others that we should, ideally, have.
Read Matthew 22:36-39. How does what Jesus says here affirm what the lesson states above? Why is our relationship with God so important in helping us form the right relationships with others? What does God do to us that helps us have the right kind of relationships with others?
Look up the following texts. How do they help answer the above questions? Ps. 51:10, 2 Cor. 5:17-19, Gal. 4:19, 2 Pet. 1:4.
|How has your own relationship with God impacted your relationships? Write down the practical, tangible ways in which knowing God has impacted how you relate to people. In what areas do you need to grow?
|August 9
The gift of Marriage (Eph. 5:22-33).
Marriage, like the Sabbath, is something we have taken from Eden. Sadly, though, many marriages today have hardly been made in paradise. Probably few things better represent the extent of the damage sin has caused to human relationships than what it has done to marriage, something that was originally designed to bring fulfillment, happiness, and joy.
Read Genesis 2:24, a command that is repeated in Matthew 19:5 and Ephesians 5:31. Is this talking only about physical union, or is there more implied? If so, what?
When Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives and Lord of our relationships, our perspective on marriage will be uniquely Christian. "Men and women can reach God's ideal for them if they will take Christ as their helper. What human wisdom cannot do, His grace will accomplish for those who give themselves to Him in loving trust. His providence can unite hearts in bonds that are of heavenly origin. Love will not be a mere exchange of soft and flattering words. The loom of heaven weaves with warp and woof finer, yet more firm, than can be woven by the looms of earth. The result is not a tissue fabric, but a texture that will bear wear and test and trial."Ellen G. White, The Adventist Home, pp. 112, 113.
Following what Paul says about marriage in Ephesians 5:22-33, how would you answer the following questions:
How are wives to relate to their husbands?
How should husbands treat their wives?
How does what Christ did for the church represent what a husband should do for the wife?
What mutual principles of love and respect are seen in these texts? How would following these principles greatly enhance any marriage?
|August 10
The Gift of Family
What insights can we gain from Psalms 127 and 128 about the gift of family?
In the home, perhaps more than anywhere else, parents have a sacred obligation to live out the principles of their faith. Love, forgiveness, kindness, compassion, care, discipline-these principles are especially crucial. So many of the child's early impressions about God are formed early on as a direct result of how the parents interacted with the child and with each other. Nothing done in the home occurs in a vacuum: The repercussions of our words, our body language, our tone, and our deeds are felt throughout the house, whether we realize it or not. And long after the deeds and words or even attitudes are past, the influences live on, often in the hearts and minds of the children, who are so malleable, so tender and sensitive. How crucial that parents, or anyone interacting with children, deal gently with them.
What counsel does the apostle Paul give to Christian families regarding the interaction between parents and children? Eph. 6:1-4.
When caring for children within our circle of influence, the Lord Jesus Christ wants us to avoid two extremes: a harsh, tyrannical disposition and a careless, indifferent attitude. Parents need to find the delicate balance between these two extremes, giving discipline and guidance when needed, while, at the same time, showing children the mercy and love and grace God has shown to them. It's a sacred, and solemn, responsibility. Here, as in all relationships, parents need to learn from God at the foot of the Cross.
|August 11
The Gift of Community (Acts 2:41-47).
Those who live under the lordship of Christ experience a unique sense of community. The Greek noun used in the New Testament to describe this community is koinonia, often translated as "fellowship." Some scholars suggest that the "[koinonia] of the Holy Spirit," spoken of by the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NIV), may also be translated the "koinonia brought about by the Holy Spirit." In other words, to the degree that we allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, to that degree we will have fellowship with one another.
Examine the description of the early Christian community in Acts 2:41-47. Luke records that they continued steadfastly in koinonia. After reading the texts, answer the following questions:
1. What kind of practical and theological unity did they manifest?
2. What kind of fellowship did they have?
3. In what practical ways did they relate to one another?
4. What kind of witness did they, in their koinonia, present to the world?
What a beautiful picture of the early church; what a powerful depiction of the very principles regarding relationships Jesus Himself taught and, of course, manifested in His life. Try to imagine what a force for good your local church could be were it to manifest such koinonia. What a powerful witness it would be (see John 13:35).
What changes need to be made in your church in order for it to reflect better what we've learned today? Why, though, must those changes begin in the heart of each believer? What is the only way these changes can come?
|August 12
Further Study:
|When building relationships, the art of listening is crucial. We listen
to God primarily through His Word and through His creative works. We listen
to others as they communicate both verbally and nonverbally.
Examine the following situations in the life of Jesus where He demonstrated the importance of listening when building relationships: John 3:1-21, 4:4-42.
"The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear. So it is His work that we do for our brother when we listen to him. . . . But Christians have forgotten that the ministry of listening has been committed to them by Him who is Himself the great listener and whose work they should share. We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God."Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together (San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1954), pp. 97-99.
Discussion Questions:
| In every aspect of our relationships with others, one crucial
theme comes to the forefront, and it's best expressed in the words of
16:24. Read those words aloud as a class. What's the key principle there?
Why is this principle so important in order to have the right relationship
List the three most important relationships currently in your life. What are you doing to nurture those relationships?
What are some creative ways you can reach out to people who lack meaningful relationships in their lives?
As a class, read together the Bonhoeffer quote listed above. What practical things can you do in order to become a better listener?
|I N S I D E Story
|One Tiny Church
Juan Chauquian
Along the rugged coast of Chile lie some isolated clusters of homes called caletas. These settlements are too small to be called villages and are extremely isolated. Some are little more than an extended family who make a living by fishing or raising a few head of cattle. One of these settlements is Caleta Milagros, a cluster of four families. Unless one has a boat, it takes 14 hours to walk from the nearest settlement.
Juan Chauquian and a friend had a burden for the people along the coast of Chile who had never heard the three angels' messages. They walked the rugged coastline looking for people who were willing to listen to Bible truth. When he arrived at Caleta Milagros, he found the people wary of strangers and hesitant to let them in.
Juan and his friend knocked on each door, but were turned away. Then they found someone who would invite them in. The two young men gave the couple a copy of the "Faith of Jesus" Bible course and promised to visit them again.
In the next house they visited they found a lonely woman. But she told them that her husband would be angry if she let them in. Juan talked gently to the woman and put her at ease. Eventually she invited the two men in.
The three talked and studied the Bible together for a half hour before the woman's husband returned home. He was angry to find two strange men in his house and threatened to toss them out. But Juan talked gently to the man, and he calmed down enough to listen. The four people talked about God and the Bible for six hours that day. Before Juan and his friend left, the husband apologized for his anger, saying he had misjudged Adventists. He explained that because Adventists did not dance in the Spirit or speak in tongues, he had assumed they did not accept the Holy Spirit.
Before Juan and his friend left at 2:00 A.M., the entire family had accepted the Bible truths and had asked for baptism. And the man who had been so angry to find Adventists in his home began to tell his neighbors what he had learned. In time the other two families in the settlement joined the first family for Bible studies. Today if you were to visit Caleta Milagros, you would find that everyone living there is an Adventist. The families worship together in their homes. Because they have no pastor, the family members take turns leading their little congregation. They would not have heard about the Sabbath had it not been for two faithful lay workers who were willing to go the extra miles for people they had never met.
Juan Chauquian is a lay worker living in Zaleta Manzana, Chile.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering one of the most recognizable persons in Tennessee State athletic history.
Anyone who comes to TSU or attends one of its home basketball games knows that the "Gentry Center" is the home stadium for Big Blue basketball. The stadium is named for Howard C. Gentry because his impressive resume as not only a football coach, but also as a person.
Gentry became TSU's 12th head football coach in 1954 and coached the team for five seasons. In that brief amount of time the Tigers won 42 games and only lost ten. They were Midwest Conference Champions in 1956, 1959 and 1960 and won a Black College National Championship.
Before coming to the Tigers, the TSU athletic director at the time had dreamed of playing football games in front of 50,000 people. At that time, HBCUs were lucky to get one-tenth of that number to attend games. Under the guidance of Gentry, the Tigers played in front of over 50,000 people as the Tigers won the Orange Blossom Classic over Florida A&M in 1956.
Gentry's focus was originally on the offensive line before taking over the head coaching spot when then-head coach Henry Kean was forced to retire for health issues. Gentry carried his line of scrimmage prowess with him when he became a head coach and it comes as no surprise that his teams dominated up front. The team had eight All-American linemen during Gentry's tenure.
The Tigers were well coached and talented, but it was Gentry's no-nonsense, hard-working attitude that propelled them to greatness.
"I have had some of [Gentry's] former players come up to me and tell me that my father was one of the most honest people they have ever met. They called him a gentle giant; he didn't cuss, but he was stern and had principles," Howard Gentry Jr. recalls about his father. "He made sure that everybody else lived by those principles, too."
After being thrust into the head coach's position, TSU called upon Gentry to become the school's Athletic Director in 1961. The position came with more power, but also more headaches.
"As an Athletics Director, you aren't always the good guy because you have to make decisions that are sometimes not the most popular. Dad used to always say that being Athletics Director is a lonely job because you can't please everyone," Gentry Jr. remembers.
It was a grind going to work everyday in a job he wasn't accustomed to doing. Still, Gentry found success as an AD, hiring the legendary coach John Merritt and inspiring his son to follow in his footsteps.
"It was my dream to be like my father, but I just wanted to be my own person and not live in his shadow. In spite of that, I wanted to be just like my dad and accomplish the things that he accomplished," Gentry Jr. said.
Gentry Jr., now a criminal court clerk in Nashville, played college football just like his father and served as TSU AD in the 1980's.
Eventually, TSU named the basketball complex in Gentry's honor. It was the capstone to the already illustrious career of one of the school's finest coaches. Stevie Wonder played a concert in honor of the naming and the only open seat in the house was up in the rafters.
"It's unbelievable that my father was so well-thought of that TSU would even consider naming a building after him," Gentry Jr. said. "It is a level of pride that goes beyond ego and humbles me."
Gentry Jr. may think that the christening is unbelievable, but it becomes viable when looking back at all of what his father accomplished.
"One lesson my father taught me was: you can't always be the fastest, strongest or smartest. What you can do is out-work the fastest, strongest or smartest. If you out-work them, you can beat them."
And beat them is exactly what Gentry did.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

25 February 2014 – T he Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and Directions Media invite government information system managers to attend a free webinar on the new OGC GeoPackage Encoding Standard, an open standard for accessing spatial data on mobile devices. The webinar, fifth in a series of OGC GovFuture Webinars, will be held on 5 March 2014 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST (GMT-5:00 hours).
You will learn:
- How GeoPackage APIs increase cross-platform interoperability of location apps and spatial Web services in a mobile environment
- About lightweight mobile apps that tap into a mix of powerful cloud-based location services and data.
- How GeoPackage works in situations where Internet access is intermittent or disconnected
- How GeoPackage is useful for applications in mobile workforce data capture, providing information during municipal operations, for example, or an emergency event
The recently approved OGC GeoPackage Encoding Standard enables easier exchange and sharing of geospatial (or location) information across different devices, applications and web services throughout the mobile world. A modern, service-oriented alternative to conventional spatial data formats, GeoPackage's SQLite-based format efficiently stores and transfers geographic vector features and image tiles. GeoPackage was developed for mobile application developers whose applications need to provide users with geospatial application services and associated data in disconnected or limited network connectivity environments, or whose applications depend on geospatial data and processing services from diverse sources.
Register for the free GeoPackage webinar here.
- Jeff Harrison, President, CEO and Founder, The Carbon Project
- Frank Suykens, CTO, Luciad
The speakers will be introduced by Raj Singh, Director of Interoperability Programs, OGC.
About the OGC
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international consortium of more than 470 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.

It is Opsens' first major agreement for OptoWire and OptoMonitor products
Singapore: Canadian company Opsens signed its first major agreement granting distribution and other rights for its OptoWire and OptoMonitor, Opsens' products for measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR).
Under the terms of the agreement with a Japanese-based medical company, Opsens will receive $3 million for the distribution rights for its FFR products for Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It includes $2 million at signing and $1 million once Opsens gets regulatory approval for its FFR devices in Japan and $2 million in convertible debenture, at signing.
"The signing of this agreement is a major milestone for Opsens and confirms the value of our FFR products," said Mr Pierre Carrier, president and chief executive officer of Opsens. "Our Japanese partner witnessed the increased depth and technical expertise we have incorporated into our FFR products. In addition, the Japanese partner knows our team and our patented pressure sensor very well, since they are using our medical pressure sensor for other projects. We are pleased to be working with them to tackle the rapidly growing FFR market."
FFR is an index of the functional severity of a coronary stenosis that is calculated from pressure measurements taken before and after a narrowing of the arteries during coronography.

Her wish opened doors for her future career.
Anyone might be daunted by jumping from a helicopter into churning ocean waters – especially anyone who's acquainted with unpredictable health and the fragility of life. But it didn't faze Jaeda.
Diagnosed with a life-threatening respiratory condition at birth, 18-year-old Jaeda is still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. For a while, she'd settled on being an astronaut. But thanks to Make-A-Wish® and the U.S. Coast Guard, those plans may be changing. Her wish to be a Coast Guard rescue swimmer was coming true.
She reports to the Aviation Training Center Mobile in Alabama and spends two days with seasoned rescue swimmers. Jaeda trains at the controls of a helicopter flight simulator and practices rescue techniques in full Coast Guard gear.
But the highlight of her experience comes when she flies out in a helicopter for an actual rescue-swimmer training mission.
"It's just so exciting – jumping out of a helicopter," Jaeda says. "We had practiced being hooked up to the harness in the hangar earlier in the day, but I never could have imagined how exhilarating it actually was to be lowered out of a helicopter into the ocean."
To top off an amazing wish experience, the Coast Guard presents Jaeda with a flight suit, a personalized name badge and rescue-swimmer gear. She even receives an official title: Honorary Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer.
Maybe after I get my degree I'll go into the Coast Guard to be a pilot. This really has opened a lot of doors for me.

This story makes me feel
Hi Jaeda, My name is Rebekah Weigner, and I have cystic fibrosis too! I just had a dr checkup a few days ago. How's your cf coming? Have you become a coast guard yet? That is so cool. I have a wish too, and I think I might wish for a horse. BTW, I'm thirteen. Your story helped me remember that I am not the only one with cystic fibrosis. Don't let cystic fibrosis stop you. Put your mind to it, and you can do anything!!!!
April 10, 2010 - 4:22 PM
Incredible! despite all that is going on in your life you chose to pursue a wish that focuses on helping others. You are an inspiration.

Form Rocking Chair
In order to sit comfortably for long periods, people need freedom of movement. The Form rocking chair has a molded plastic shell with a wide, curved seat, which gives plenty of opportunity for changing one's sitting position. The thickness of the shell also transitions from 1 cm at the seat to 4 mm at the top of the backrest. This ensures strength and support where the weight is borne most, as well as good flexibility for the back. The rocking frame also offers extra potential for movement, and the comfortable, rocking rhythm has been shown to be both calming and relaxing.In addition to the comfort benefits of the rocking chair, it is especially well suited for creating inviting corners and expressive environments in all types of settings. With its sculptural silhouette and meticulous consideration for details, the Form rocking chair captures one's eye, creating atmosphere and seamlessly completing decors in large as well as small rooms.The Form rocking chair is available both with and without armrests. It is a natural extension of the existing wooden frame and illustrates the rich potential of the design. Designer Simon Legald has this to say about the newest family member of the series:"The rocking frame was actually one of the first frames I designed. I think that there is something unexpected and surprising about the combination of an industrial, plastic shell and the more traditional wooden rocking chair frame. The frame is extremely strong and has been assembled by hand by furniture craftsmen who have ensured that the quality is the best possible. The parts for the wooden bases are treated with two coats of clear varnish before they are mounted onto the shell. This makes the frame extra hard-wearing and offers a beautiful, natural surface."
Simon Legald
Simon Legald graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products. Simon's designs are often created in a dialogue between craftsmanship and industry. He also likes to incorporate the techniques that are necessary for the structure of a product into the design by highlighting them visually. "Honesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the products functionality. If you understand the product, it does not need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore, it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects and makes them trustworthy. In my design, I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression."

A bleached out, spaghetti-shaped seagrass called manatee grass made its way to the shores of Longboat Key Wednesday, June 10.
Seaplace resident Barbara Koetsier was surprised to find the brittle manatee grass on the shore just north of The Colony Beach and Tennis Resort.
"It's the first time I have ever seen it on the beach," Koetsier said.
The white blades of grass are cylindrical, rather than flat, and are 4 to 12 inches in length.
Hayley Rutger, public relations specialist for Mote Marine Laboratory, said Mote scientists are uncertain as to why large deposits of the grass have washed up on shore.
"We do know it's white, because by the time it makes its way to shore, it's bleached out," said Rutger, who explained that manatee grass is completely harmless and odorless.
Manatee grass is a shallow species of grass that thrives at depths of 2 to 3 feet, but can also live in areas with a depth of up to 60 feet. The grass got its name from manatees, which munch on the grass as a source of food.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa said the town only cleans up remnants of red tide or foul-smelling seaweed that washes ashore on Longboat Key.
The manatee grass is expected to wash out with the tide – eventually.

Jared Leto: 'I Basically Didn't Eat' for 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Jared Leto hits the red carpet at the premiere of his documentary Artifact held at the Paramount Theater during the 2013 SXSW Film Festival on Wednesday (March 13) in Austin, Tex.
The 41-year-old actor then attended the Samsung Q&A and after party for the documentary, which is about his band 30 Seconds to Mars' legal battle with music label EMI.
Jared also opened up about losing about 30 pounds for his role in Dallas Buyers Club.
"I got down to 116 or something," Jared revealed. "I just basically didn't eat. I ate very little. I had done similar things with weight, but this was different. I think the role demanded that commitment…It was about how does that effect how I walk, how I talked, who I am, how I feel. You know, you feel very fragile and delicate and unsafe."
Also pictured: Jared arriving at LAX Airport on Thursday (March 14) in Los Angeles.

ROME, March 29, 2013 (AFP)
ROME, March 29, 2013 (AFP)
Pope Francis was to preside over his first Good Friday after washing the feet of 12 young prisoners, updating an ancient Easter ritual as part of his efforts to bring the Catholic Church closer to the needy.
The new pontiff is due to recite the Passion of Christ — the story of the last hours of Jesus's life — in St Peter's Basilica on Friday, before leading the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) ceremony by the Colosseum, where thousands of Christians are believed to have been killed in Roman times.
Francis, whose first days as pope have set a markedly different tone from his predecessor Benedict XVI, is expected to take part in the procession and even carry the wooden cross on his shoulder part of the way.
Last year a frail Benedict, now 85, oversaw celebrations from under a canopy next to the Colosseum.
The new pope also held an unprecedented ceremony to mark Holy Thursday, washing and kissing inmates' feet at a prison in Rome — the first time a pontiff had performed the ritual in a prison, and the first time it included women and Muslims.
"Whoever is the most high up must be at the service of others," said Francis, 76, at the mass in the Casal del Marmo youth prison, a fortnight after being elected Latin America's first pope.
"I do this with all my heart because it is my duty as a priest, as a bishop. I have to be at your service."
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said many of the participants broke down in tears at the ceremony, which was open only to Vatican media.
Video footage from the ceremony showed the pope pouring water over the feet — one of them with tattoos — bending down to kiss them and looking each of the 12 prisoners in the eye before moving on.
Lombardi said that while this was the first time a pope had washed women's feet, Francis had performed this type of ceremony in his native Argentina many times before becoming pope, including in jails, hospitals and old people's homes.
The Holy Thursday ceremony is usually held in a basilica in the city centre and commemorates the gesture of humility believed to have been performed by Jesus Christ for his 12 disciples at their last meal.
Popes performing the ritual have usually washed the feet of priests.
Francis has already broken with several Vatican traditions with his informal style, although he is yet to begin tackling the many problems assailing the Roman Catholic Church including reform of the scandal-ridden Vatican bureaucracy and bank.
The former archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was known in Argentina for his strong social advocacy during his homeland's devastating economic crisis, his own humble lifestyle and his outreach in poor neighbourhoods.
Good Friday is the second of four intensive days in the Christian calendar culminating in Easter Sunday, which commemorates Christ's resurrection.
On Saturday, the pontiff will take part in an evening Easter vigil in St Peter's Basilica. The Vatican has not yet said whether he will follow the tradition of baptising eight adult converts to the Catholic Church during the service.
On Sunday the Vatican's first non-European pope in nearly 1,300 years will celebrate Easter mass in front of tens of thousands of pilgrims in St Peter's Square and then pronounce the traditional "Urbi et Orbi" blessing to Rome and the world.

The NASA Advisory Council created the Solar System Exploration Committee (SSEC) in 1980 at the behest of Robert Frosch, NASA's fifth Administrator. The SSEC was charged with developing an affordable, scientifically valid program of robotic Solar System exploration missions for the 1980s and 1990s based on technologies already in hand. Its efforts were intended to help NASA rectify the slowdown in U.S. planetary mission launches that had begun in the late 1970s and which promised to become acute in the 1980s.
The SSEC's first report, published in 1983, called for a "core program" with four "initial" missions. These included the Mars Geoscience/Climatology Orbiter (approved in 1984, it was renamed Mars Observer and left Earth in 1992). Arden Albee, Chief Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Chair of the SSEC Working Group for Terrestrial Planets (Solid Body), urged that the SSEC consider a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission for its "augmented program," a follow-on set of Solar System missions that would require new technologies.
In support of SSEC planning, JPL, NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC), and Science Applications International (SAI) personnel studied MSR concepts between December 1983 and July 1984. In the report on its study, the MSR team cited the 1978 Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration (COMPLEX) report Strategy for Exploration of the Inner Planets: 1977-1987, which had as its highest-priority post-Viking Mars science objective "intensive understanding of the details of the diversity of local materials at the surface of Mars." It then declared that this goal could "best (and perhaps only) be addressed by a mission that carefully samples Martian materials and returns them intact to Earth for intensive, detailed analysis in terrestrial laboratories with the most sophisticated techniques available."
The team explained that SAI had provided "handbook-type" information on many different MSR options. It chose, however, to restrict its study to mission plans that adhered to three ground rules. The first rule was that samples had to be collected by a rover (that is, from multiple sites at a distance from the lander). The second was that a Mars orbiter did not need to be included in the mission for site selection or to relay radio signals to and from the rover, though it might be used for those purposes if it were included for other reasons. Finally, aerocapture/aeromaneuver, Mars orbit rendezvous, and making propellants on Mars from native resources could be considered in the study, but no more than two of these new technological capabilities could be included in the baseline MSR mission plan.
Based on these rules, the JPL/JSC/SAI team arrived at four mission options, all of which had been considered in MSR studies in the 1960s and 1970s. The first mission option, designated direct entry/direct return, would see the MSR spacecraft enter the martian atmosphere without stopping in orbit. After landing and completing its surface mission, an Earth Return Vehicle (ERV) would lift off and fly directly back to Earth. In the second option, orbital entry/direct return, the spacecraft would first enter Mars orbit, then would descend to the surface. After completing its surface mission, an ERV would lift off Mars and fly directly back to Earth.
The third mission option, direct entry/Mars Orbit Rendezvous (MOR), would see the spacecraft separate into two parts as it approached Mars. The first part, the orbiter bearing the ERV, would enter Mars orbit, while the lander would descend directly to the surface. After the lander completed its surface mission, an ascent vehicle bearing the Mars samples its rover had gathered would ascend to Mars orbit. The orbiter would dock with the ascent vehicle and automatically load the sample into the ERV, which would then separate and fire its rocket motor to transport the samples to Earth.
Finally, the team looked at orbital entry/MOR. The MSR spacecraft would enter Mars orbit, then the lander would separate from the orbiter and descend to the surface. After it completed its surface mission, an ascent vehicle would blast off from the lander bearing the rover-collected sample. In Mars orbit, the orbiter would collect the Mars sample and load it into the ERV, then the latter would separate and carry the sample to Earth.
The team looked at two variants of each of the four mission options: propulsive/aeroballistic, in which the spacecraft would fire a rocket to enter Mars orbit or (in the case of the direct entry mission plans) would pass through Mars's atmosphere without maneuvering on its way to landing, and aerocapture/aeromaneuver, in which the spacecraft would slow down to enter Mars orbit by passing through the planet's upper atmosphere or (in the case of direct entry) maneuver in the atmosphere on its way to landing. Propulsive and aerocapture obviously could not apply to the first mission option (direct entry/direct return), since no part of the MSR spacecraft would enter Mars orbit, but aeroballistic or aeromaneuver could apply to all four mission options.
After weighing launch mass, cost, Mars landing site accessibility, and other factors, the team settled on the aerocapture/aeromaneuver version of mission option four (orbital entry/MOR) as its baseline mission plan for detailed study. Their spacecraft design for accomplishing this mission was a complex integrated system comprising "nested spacecraft" that would operate as a unit at mission start and separate from each other as the mission progressed. Designated the Interplanetary Vehicle System (IVS), it would be enclosed by a two-part biconic aeroshell to permit aerodynamic maneuvering in the martian atmosphere. The IVS would have a mass of 9492.9 kilograms at Earth departure.
The IVS forward section would house the 12.2-meter-long Mars Entry Capsule (MEC), and its smaller, roughly cylindrical aft part would contain the Mars Orbit Vehicle (MOV). The MEC, sterilized and sealed in a two-part bioshield to prevent contamination of Mars by Earth microbes, would include the Mars Entry System (MES), the Mars Lander Module (MLM) with rover, and the three-stage Mars Rendezvous Vehicle (MRV). The MOV, which would provide the IVS with communications, guidance, and attitude control during the flight from Earth to Mars, would contain the ERV, which in turn would hold the 50-kilogram Earth Orbit Capsule (EOC).
The team's MSR mission, targeted for launch in 1996 (the 20th anniversary of the Viking landings), would begin with Earth-orbital assembly and launch. When the team conducted its study, the Space Shuttle had only begun to reveal its limitations, and the hopes President Ronald Reagan had raised for NASA's Space Station in his January 1984 State of the Union Address had yet to be dashed. The JPL/JSC/SAI team chose the Centaur G-prime upper stage to propel the IVS out of Earth orbit toward Mars. The team also looked briefly at launching the IVS on a reusable Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) space tug based at the Space Station.
Centaur G-prime was an 8.73-meter-long liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen upper stage based on the venerable Centaur upper stage design, which first flew successfully atop an Atlas rocket in November 1963. The G-prime version was a planned Shuttle auxiliary vehicle for boosting large Shuttle-launched payloads to destinations beyond Shuttle/Station operational orbit.
The IVS and Centaur would together measure 20.87 meters in length, making them too long for launch in the 18.3-meter-long Shuttle cargo bay. This meant that the Centaur and IVS would need to be launched separately in two Shuttles and linked in Earth orbit either by the crew of the second Shuttle or in a hangar on the Space Station. If all occurred as planned, the Centaur G-prime would ignite to push the IVS out of Earth orbit on November 18, 1996.
Earth-Mars transfer would last 303 days. After the spent Centaur separated from the IVS, a high-gain antenna would unfurl from the MOV's aft end to establish two-way radio contact with Earth. At the same time, the MEC would cast off its forward bioshield. Two MOV-mounted thruster assemblies would perform any course corrections necessary during the flight to Mars. A Radioisotope Thermal Generator (RTG) on the MLM would supply the IVS with electricity.
Mars aerocapture would occur on September 17, 1997 (image at top of post). The MOV would perform a final course correction maneuver to ensure a safe Mars atmosphere entry and would stow its antenna. The IVS would then skim through the martian upper atmosphere to slow down so that the planet's gravity could capture it into an elliptical orbit with a 2000-kilometer apoapsis (orbital high point) and a periapsis (orbital low point) within the atmosphere. When the IVS reached the apoapsis of its first orbit, the MOV thrusters would fire to raise its periapsis to 560 kilometers.
The MOV orbiter would cast off its section of the aeroshell, re-deploy its high-gain antenna, and extend two solar panels to make electricity. It would then separate from the MEC lander, taking with it the MEC-MOV adapter and aft MEC bioshield. It would discard these, then fire its thrusters at periapsis to circularize its orbit at 560 kilometers.
The MEC lander, meanwhile, would fire the MES deorbit rocket at its next apoapsis to begin the fall toward Mars's surface. As the MES aeroshell contacted the atmosphere, a rear-mounted flap would deploy to steer the MEC toward its landing site. The study team wrote that MEC would have "as one of its most significant attributes the ability to reach and return from almost any part of the Martian globe with equal ease."
At the proper altitude, with the MEC still streaking horizontally high across the martian sky, a mortar would fire a drogue parachute out the aeroshell's open aft end. The drogue would pop open and draw out the main parachute, which would then rapidly decelerate the MEC. Moments later, the aeroshell would separate, freeing the MLM with rover and MRV. Still attached to the main chute, the MLM would begin a vertical descent. Three landing legs would deploy, then the main chute would separate as five terminal descent rocket engines ignited to lower the MLM to a soft touchdown on Mars.
After landing, the MLM antenna mast would deploy to enable two-way radio communication with Earth, then preparations for rover deployment would begin. The JPL/JSC/SAI team's 400-kilogram rover design had four wheels on articulated legs. Each wheel would include an independent electric drive motor. Controllers on Earth would activate the rover's rear-mounted RTG, check out the rover's systems, then lower it from the MLM's underside. Following umbilical separation, the rover would move away from the lander at a top speed of 10 centimeters per second, stop, deploy its "telescoping elements" (high-gain dish antenna, twin stereo imaging camera heads, and "monitoring camera"), and establish two-way radio communication with Earth through the high-gain antenna.
The rover would be unable to send signals to Earth while moving, though it could receive commands through its low-gain antenna. It would receive commands and transmit data through the high-gain antenna once each day. The rover would operate under "supervisory control" of a "ground operator" on Earth. The operator would examine the stereo image received from the rover at its end-of-day position, designate a traverse path for the next day, and transmit this information to the rover. Hazard-detection sensors on the rover's underside would prevent it from colliding with rocks or tumbling down holes. At the end of the planned path, the rover would stop and record a stereo image for transmission to Earth during the next downlink. The team calculated that its rover could traverse 11.2 kilometers and collect samples at five sites in 155 days.
Upon reaching a sampling site, the ground operator would activate the rover's manipulator system, which would consist of a robot arm and a "tool rack" containing a range of different end effectors. The arm would select the required end effector and use it to collect a desired sample, then would transfer the sample to the sample inlet on the rover's top deck. The inlet would lead to the 50-centimeter-long, 20-kilogram Sample Canister Assembly (SCA), which would contain 20 16-centimeter-long, 3.5-centimeter-diameter storage vials. The rover would collect a total of five kilograms of Mars samples during its mission. The arm would then place a sealing cover on the SCA and weld it into place.
Soon after the rover set out on its traverse, preparations would begin for MRV launch. The MRV nose tie-down strap would separate, then an electric motor on the MLM would raise the 1926.9-kilogram MRV so that its nose pointed at the sky. The MRV for the baseline mission was uniquely illustrative of the grand scale of the JPL/JSC/SAI mission - it would measure a hefty 5.37 meters from nose to tail and 1.84 meters in diameter. As the rover finished gathering samples and began to move back to the lander, a crane-like SCA Transfer Device would deploy on the MLM and the MRV's nose cone would hinge open to reveal a cylindrical cavity for holding the SCA. Upon reaching the MLM, the rover arm would withdraw the SCA and hand it to the SCA Transfer Device, which would hoist it into the MRV's nose. The nose cose would then hinge shut.
At a time determined by the MOV's position in Mars orbit, the "zero stage" of the Mars Ascent Boost Module (MABM) would ignite to blast the MRV free of the MLM. The zero and first stages, each with three solid-propellant rocket motors, would burn and separate in turn, boosting the MRV to an apoapsis of 578 kilometers. The nose cone would then separate, clearing the way for four solar arrays and a radio antenna to deploy. At apoapsis, the single MABM second-stage motor would ignite to raise the MRV's periapsis, placing the precious Mars sample into a 578-kilometer circular orbit 46.3 kilometers ahead of the MOV.
Because of its lower orbit, the MOV would gain rapidly on the MRV. The MOV, the active vehicle in the rendezvous and docking, would measure about 4.5 meters long and 3.5 meters across its hexagonal frame. The MRV would radio position data to the MOV, which would then detect it using its infrared sensor and laser rangefinder. At 10 meters separation, the MOV would keep station with the MRV while controllers on Earth checked out both vehicles. If all appeared normal, they would transmit the command for the MOV to move in and place its docking cone over the MRV's conical docking unit. The vehicles would dock, then the MRV would transfer the SCA to the EOC. The EOC would be located inside the MOV within the ERV. The MOV would then discard the docking cone with the MRV attached and a door on the EOC would hinge shut to seal in the SCA.
The ERV would leave Mars orbit on October 23, 1998, after 401 days at Mars. The MOV would position itself for ERV separation, then would spin up the ERV on a spin table to create gyroscopic stabilization and eject it using springs. A short time later, the ERV would ignite four solid-propellant rocket motors to depart Mars orbit for Earth. The unsterilized MOV would then maneuver to a long-lived graveyard orbit about Mars to forestall orbital decay and prevent contamination of Mars by Earth microbes. Its mission at last complete, it would then shut off its radio transmitter. The ERV motors, meanwhile, would exhaust their propellants and detach, exposing the ERV's high-gain radio antenna and course correction thrusters. Mars-Earth transfer would need 326 days. The EOC would monitor and control the environment in the SCA to help to ensure sample preservation.
Earth arrival would occur on September 14, 1999. As the ERV closed in on Earth, it would eject the one-meter-long EOC and fire its thrusters so that it would miss the homeworld. The EOC, meanwhile, would ignite three solid-propellant rocket motors to slow down so that Earth's gravity could capture it into an elliptical 40,200-kilometer-by-280-kilometer orbit. Solar cells covering its surface would provide electricity for a radio homing beacon that would aid rendezvous and recovery by a Space Station-based OTV.
The JPL/JSC/SAI team explained that it did not include ISPP in the MSR mission because it was "in an early stage of development." It added, however, that "the advantages could be considerable and therefore this possibility. . .should not be overlooked in future mission studies." They briefly examined the issue of back contamination (that is, accidental introduction of Mars microbes into Earth's ecosystem), noting that the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture was the government official responsible for allowing "foreign materials" including "rocks and soils" into the United States. The team cited the 1981 Antaeus report when it noted that the existence of the Space Station would create new options for planetary sample quarantine.
The team offered no cost estimate for its complex mission, though it was aware that it would probably be expensive. The JPL, JSC, and SAI engineers concluded their report by recommending topics for study in Fiscal Year 1985, most of which aimed to reduce the great mass and complexity of the mission. These included IVS mass and size reduction; requirements for IVS departure from and EOC return to the Space Station; a more precise rover design definition, including details of its many sample collection tools; consideration of the use of aerocapture to place the Mars sample into Earth orbit; and more detailed sample quarantine requirements.

Which of the 2 brands can truly lay claim to owning the rights to the 'G' would soon be determined by the law court. The battle to claim the 'G' between Gucci and Guess is now the subject of a lawsuit, filed by Gucci. The top Italian brand, which is one of the top brands owned by PPR, a holding company owned by French Billionaire- Francois-Henri Pinault, who is the husband of top actress- Salma Hayek, has claimed in their lawsuit, that Guess is deliberately engaging in a massive and complicated move, to knock off Gucci's best known and Iconic designs.
The claim, which Gucci filed in a suit since 2009 at a New York Federal court, claims that the Los Angeles based fashion brand (Guess) infringed on its trademarks by imitating 4 specific Gucci signatures, 'which are' - The brand name delicate script font, the green & red stripe, the square 'G' & the interlocking 'G' pattern.
According to Gucci, the rival brand- Guess has profited to the tune of $221 Million dollars worth of goods sold featuring these trademarks infringement.
But according to Guess, the LA based fashion brand has never tried to be like Gucci, Guess even went on to claim that of the 1,495 Guess products accused by Gucci of trademark infringements, 99% of them could not be confused with Gucci.
This would not be the 1st case of trademark infringements between rival brands, 2 cases that readily comes to mind, was that between Polo Ralph Lauren and US Polo Association, over the right to use horseman logo and that between Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent over the use of the red sole on shoes by the latter.

Dinner theatre to feature comedy spotlighting actors
PLAINVIEW - Student actors at Wayland Baptist University will get a challenging experience during the upcoming production of The Dining Room by the university theatre department, slated Feb. 27, 28 and March 1.
The comedy by A.R. Gurney features only eight cast members, but those eight will fill nearly 60 different character roles. According to Dr. Marti Runnels, director of theatre, the end result is a hilarious experience for audiences and great training for actors.
"One thing actors learn is transition. In one scene, they are working to fill a need and then something happens and they have to transition to another need," Runnels explained, adding that. "This work is more like transformation, where the change is immediate and total."
Runnels said while actors sometimes fill different roles within a production, they are typically allowed to leave and reenter the set or even change costumes in order to transform. But The Dining Room doesn't really allow for that, and as Runnels puts it, "sometimes actors just look away and look back and they're someone else."
The premise of the play is an examination of family dynamics seen through experiences in the dining room of a well-to-do household. The play spans different generations and families, however, presenting varied views of Gurney's traditional subject: the upper-middle-class white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
"There's a sense that all these different families are passing through this one room, in and out of time," Runnels said.
An interesting note by Runnels is that Gurney is one of the few playwrights he has directed more than once. Wayland's theatre department presented Sylvia a few years back. The Plainview Civic Theatre also presented Gurney's Love Letters last year.
Cast members for The Dining Room include Chris Moore, Billy Boone, Brandon Campanella, Richard Conner, Jennifer Riley, Milea Simpson, Desi Pharis and Jennifer Parrish.
The show is the department's annual dinner theatre production. An Italian dinner catered by The Olive Garden will be served at 7 p.m. in Harral Auditorium, with the play following at 8 p.m. in Harral Studio Theatre. The menu consists of lasagna, salad and breadsticks, tiramisu or white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, coffee and tea.
Tickets are $18 per person for the dinner theatre, and reservations must be received and paid by Feb. 26 to guarantee seats. Reservations can be made by phone using a Mastercard or Visa by calling the Box Office at 291-1089. Reservation requests and payment by check can also be sent to the University Theatre at 1900 West 7 th St., Plainview, Texas 79072.
Tickets for the show only are $8 for adults and $4 for students college age and younger. Theatre visitors bringing a grocery bag of canned food for Faith in Sharing House will receive a $2 discount off one ticket.
For more information, contact the theatre box office at 291-1089.
